Abstract This study focuses on the problems associated with the traditional practice of reducing costs in construction and the need to increase business competitiveness in the residential real estate sector. In this context, target costing is a promising approach to improve the competitiveness of companies by ensuring that the products launched on the market do not jeopardize the company's results and value delivery to customers. However, far too little attention is paid to target costing implementation by companies that develop residential real state products for sale and face strong market competition. Thus, this paper seeks to investigate whether the standard framework of target costing in the literature applies - with or without adjustments - to real estate developers. Case study was the research strategy adopted. Guidelines are proposed for the introduction of target costing in the development process of residential real estate products. The proposed guidelines are related to the three main sections of the target costing process: market-driven costing, product-level target costing and component-level target costing.

Real estate transactions have been one of the most shadowed sectors of the national economy. The COVID-19 pandemic and the quarantine measures introduced in 2020 to prevent its spreading have led to a sharp increase in the shadowing of the real estate sector, thus reversing the positive trend of the previous years. The study aims at finding ways to de-shadow the real estate sector and substantiating them. Changes in the level of shadowing relations in the real estate sector in 2020 are analyzed. It is found out that the quarantine restrictions introduced in 2020 had though short-term but major negative impact on activities in the real estate market, thus increasing the shadowing of the real estate transactions sector. Emphasis is placed on letting residential real estate as one of the most shadowed segments of the real estate sector. Gaps in the de-shadowing measures in the real estate sector in recent years are highlighted and critically assessed, in particular: Bill № 3618 “On Real Estate Activities in Ukraine”; Bill № 3928-1 "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine with a view to stimulate the de-shadowing of income received from letting residential real estate"; introduction of a Multiple Listing Service based on real estate appraisal reports; activities of tax authorities in the field of identifying shadow transactions in the rental market. To minimize the level of shadowing the real estate sector, it is suggested to: conduct public awareness campaign as for the benefits of conducting legal activities in the rental market, e.g., protection of the rights of tenants and landlords in the field of real estate transactions; to amend the Tax Code of Ukraine regarding the taxation of income received from letting residential real estate; create a "Legal Lease" online portal, etc.

Current methods for analyzing the residential real estate market have certain disadvantages. First of all, they are related to the heterogeneity of the market due to geographical differences. Secondly, it is various approaches to analyze the real estate sector. The real estate market is often analyzed only from the point of statistics and macroeconomic phenomena, without taking into account marketing components. However, effective analytics of the real estate sector should include marketing analysis. This analysis helps to understand the preferences and trends of past and current customers, specifically favored price. A forecast of future trends in real estate is created on the basis of this analysis. The authors suggested methodological approaches to analyzing the residential real estate sector with the use of marketing analysis.

We develop an automated valuation model (AVM) for the residential real estate market by leveraging stacked generalization and a comparable market analysis. Specifically, we combine four novel ensemble learning methods with a repeat sales method and tailor the data selection for each value estimate. We calibrate and evaluate the model for the residential real estate market in Oslo by producing out-of-sample estimates for the value of 1,979 dwellings sold in the first quarter of 2018. Our novel approach of using stacked generalization achieves a median absolute percentage error of 5.4%, and more than 96% of the dwellings are estimated within 20% of their actual sales price. A comparison of the valuation accuracy of our AVM to that of the local estate agents in Oslo generally demonstrates its viability as a valuation tool. However, in stable market phases, the machine falls short of human capability.

In the previous work, G.M. Sternik and S.G. Sternik justified the options for the method of assessing the average current annual return on investment in residential real estate development, depending on the nature and content of the initial data on the costs contained in the sources of information (construction costs or total investment costs). Based on the analysis of the composition of the elements of development costs used in various data sources, we corrected the coefficients that allowed us to move from the assessment of the current annual return on investment in development in relation to the cost (full estimated cost) of construction to the assessment of the current annual return on investment in relation to the total investment costs. This calculation method was tested on the example of the housing market inMoscow. As a result, we concluded it is possible its use for investment management in the housing market. In this article, based on G.M. Sternik and S.G. Sternik’s methodology for assessing the return on investment into the development, and taking also into account the increase of information openness of the real estate market, we improved the calculation formulas, using new sources of the initial data, and recalculated the average market return on investment into the development of residential real estate in the Moscow region according to the data available for 2014–2017. We concluded that, since 2015, the average market return on investment takes negative values, i.e. the volume of investment in construction exceeds the revenue from sales in the primary market. However, in the second half of 2017, the indicator has increased to positive values, which was due to a greater extent of the decrease in the volume of residential construction in the region. The data obtained by us, together with the improved method of calculations, allow predicting with high reliability the potential of the development of the regional markets of primary housing for the purpose of investment and state planning of housing construction programs.
